Counseling and Assessment Services (CAS) provides a broad spectrum of clinical and skills-related services to all students of the University. Services include psychological counseling and therapy, diagnostic assessment, career counseling, biofeedback, and stress management. In addition, CAS runs a series of workshops each semester focusing on motivation, improving academic achievement, career concerns, time management, and stress reduction. CAS also serves students with documented psychological disabilities, including Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD).

Diagnostic assessment services are available on a referral basis for students who are experiencing academic and learning problems. Comprehensive test batteries designed to assess the presence of learning disabilities, Attention Deficit Disorder, and a variety of psychological disorders that can interfere with learning, are available. The diagnostic assessment report that each student receives is complete with individualized recommendations that are specifically relevant to the campus and its resources. Fees for these assessments are covered under the University's Student Health Insurance Plan; various additional payment options are also available.

CAS provides case management and academic support for psychological disabilities. Case management services include assistance with procuring reasonable accommodations, time management and study skills assistance, assistance in setting academic and personal goals, referrals to other appropriate support services, and liaison with other mental health service providers.
